Congratulations to BlackFive (Still the Paratrooper of Love) for reaching his 5,000,000th hit yesterday morning. I was lucky enough to be hit 5,000,001, and let me tell you.... it was magic. After the occasion I went outside and enjoyed a good Cigar (Made just 90 miles south of Key West) I picked up in Iraq.

Ironically, this last Monday the firewall where I work was updated, blocking BlackFive's and Michelle Malkin's blogs due to their 'political' nature. Funny that Ace of Spades remained unblocked. Both were unblocked as of yesterday, allowing me to partake in their great writing once again.

It's blogs like BlackFive that make life in the military a better place. Keep up the good work Matty-O.
